Lesson
Khatama-(Sealed) means the result which grows
due to constantly refusal and opposition of the Truth. Purpose to seal
anything is, nothing could enter and nothing could go out of it which has
been sealed. For example if the heart has been sealed, then neither the Truth
can enter into it and nor boldness can remain to declare the good as
agreeable talk.
Quluu-bihim-(Their
hearts). Heart does not mean a piece of flesh here but it is the will-power
which is centre of the wisdom, the sense and the intention.
Sam-‘ihim-(Their
hearing), “Sama” means power of hearing, aims their ears.
‘Absaarihim-(Their
eyes). (Power of looking).
Ghishaawatun-Covering
(to cover, to hide). Here it means covering of negligence over eyes which look
signs of the Truth but still resist accepting the facts.
It is a universal law in this world that whenever any power
does not bring into work or it is not
activated, then at last it leaves
its function. Same law is about the
powers of looking and
understanding, if they are kept
un-functional constantly they will
leave the function of looking and
understanding the Truth.
Sealing the hearts, hearing and covering the eyes of any body by Allah
begin, whenever any person intentionally adapts infidelity and persists on it.
Every person is given the right nature by Allah and it includes use of
thinking power on the signs/marks of God. But
whenever mankind misuses his considering
powers and devises to
follow the Satan changing his side from
the teachings of The
Messenger (Peace be upon Him), then he
comes out of pity series
of The Prophets (peace be upon Them) and
help of God leaves him.
Now he supposes the way of astray as the
straight path.
It is evident that as result of eating poison becomes cause of
death, just like this changing one’s
side from the orders of God intentionally becomes cause of spiritual death.
As we have learnt
earlier that life of mankind does not go
to end after death but there
will be also a second life, which will be result of this life. Constantly
disobeying in this life will appear in
the shape of a big agony as punishment.
